    Having imported ladybugs into a greenhouse for the express purpose of exterminating aphids, I can tell you with certainty that they’re kinda dumb. A leaf completely coated with aphids will see 4 plucked and obliterated by mandibles, and 50 ignored, only to search for more distant prey. The buffet is right there, why are you searching for scraps beneath it?

    But there’s nothing quite like seeing the little shits disappear into an organic shredder, clawing desperately, fruitlessly at survival. I fucking despise aphids.

      God those guys are stupid. I’ve seen one literally having an aphid on its head and ignoring it.

      But seeing them “hunting” is actually kind of scary, I almost feel bad for the aphids.

    “Listen to that birdsong, so beautiful!”

    “Hey, wanna fuck?” “Anybody up for fucking?” “Somebody please suck my bird dick!”

      I think that every time I hear the frogs go off.

      "Pick me! PICK ME!

      “Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me…”

    I wish we got ladybugs here. All we get is Asian beetle lookalikes and they are straight from hell.
